A Year in Music
This time last year I utilised my fine excel skills to produce a list of all the songs I’d been listening to on via my iPod. Unfortunately the little white jukebox has partially fried and refuses to correctly negotiate playcounts. Therefore I thought I’d just post some of the bands I’ve been listening to over the last year:
I’ve got right into Idlewild & The Stone Roses and I’ve probably spent more time listening to them than any other…
Though I’ve also been getting into listening to The Mars Volta & The Deftones.
Whilst continuing my love of Biffy Clryo, Future eX Wife, Metallica, The Cooper Temple Clause & Soundgarden.
And more generally; getting into Jazz & Motown.
That’s a pretty pared down list and it’ll do nicely for now.
oh, and I was listening to Beck whilst making that post…

I think you should make me a CD for educational purposes.

You could always sign up for Last.FM
www.last.fm
It logs all the music you listen to and compiles weekly/monthly etc. charts. Gives you recommendations and so forth.
Of course, it’s a gross invasion of privacy, but if you’re happy with it, it’s quite fun!

Idlewild were the first band I saw live (well, technically speaking 100 Reasons were as they supported, but still) - they’ve definitely gone rubbish after The Remote Part, and 100 Broken Windows is their best album and it’s not close. TCTC are very good live as well, ironically Kasabian were supporting them when I saw them and they sucked. I still think they’re crap but quite like the album tracks.

I spent my year listening to Idlewild also. Towards the end of the year there was Peter, Bjorn and John and the Cure but Idlewild, The Kooks and Arctic Monkeys for the start. And far too much KT Tunstall for a person of such music taste

I’ve seen last FM, but prefer my iPod, since I already have a sizable collection and don’t do most of my listening whilst online…
Jon, The Remote Part is my favourite Idlewild album, though I also really like “100 broken…” and “Hope…”. I think I have Warnings/Promises, but I don’t really listen to it.
Alsion, I may well do that.
Linden, I’ve never heard of Peter, Bjorn & Jon except from your blog… what are they like? I’m not a fan of the monkeys or kooks…
